These three little girls belong to some of my dearest friends. They are close in age, and I feel like they all used to be tiny little babies such a short time ago. At my party they were all running around together and I couldn't believe how much they had grown and turned into big girls.
28 was a hard one for me this year. Not because of anything specific, but I think because 28 was the age. The age where I thought I would have my own little one running around. Or if not that, I thought I would be running around in my size six jeans. In shape and running marathons. Or perhaps I thought I would have my very own house.
All these things sprang into my head when I realized I hit an age that I had put expectations on myself. Now let me just say, that I am extremely blessed to be where I am right now, and it's not that I don't love my life how it is, but I think I had to adjust my thinking this year.
And as much as I would love to have my own little peanut, bean, or bug right now, it's just not the right time. I have accepted that. We're working towards it, and I think we're really close, but for right now I am happy to live with my best friend who makes me laugh every single day. Especially tonight when he acted out a 2 minute version of Black Swan that had me laughing until I was crying.
Yep, I think it's safe to say that even though I didn't know I would be here at 28, I am content. And I'm determined to make this my year.

Girl its totally your year!!! Oh and just the thought of Bob's Black Swan interpretation made me almost fall off my chair laughing. You two are the best!!
Caity, I just love you. Happy 28th and I hope things get closer to the way you would like them.
Beautiful pics Caity! Glad you had a great birthday!
first, happy happy birthday.
second, I know what you mean about 'expectations' at a certain age... things fall into place, they do and for now I think you have an awesome attitude about it all.
There is something pretty awesome to have your bestfriend all to yourself.
take care and here's to a FANTASTIC new year
It's for sure your year!
28 and looking great!
I may be biased but I LOVE the pics in this post. So cute.
Caity, you are going to be an amazing mommy. How do I know? Because you're the best friend anyone could ask for. And someday you'll look back and see how perfectly everything worked out. I'm rooting for a baby BobCat as much as the next girl, but when the time's right you'll know! But take it from me... enjoy your time while you have it!
